Der Mars Express scheint Wasser gefunden zu haben, und zwar als tatsächlich heutzutage existierendes Eis. Man siehe hier:

Oder vielleicht doch nicht?
Sie wissen es gut in undeutliche Sprache zu verstecken, denn sie schreiben nicht:
SENSATION! WASSER NACHGEWIESEN!
sondern:
ASPERA, a plasma and energetic neutral atoms analyser, is aiming to answer the fundamental question of whether the solar wind erosion led to the present lack of water on Mars. The preliminary results show a difference in the characteristics between the impact of the solar wind area and the measurement made in the tail of Mars. Another exciting experiment was run by the SPICAM instrument (an ultraviolet and infrared spectrometer) during the first star occultation ever made at Mars. It has simultaneously measured the distribution of the ozone and water vapour, which has never been done before, revealing that there is more water vapour where there is less ozone.
Vielleicht wird die ESA morgen eine etwas klarere Sprache reden.
